August 2013: It is with great sadness that we share the news of the death of Dwight Copper, age 59.
He gave freely of his time, being a long time volunteer at the Historical Society and at the New Castle Library.
Many may not have known him personally, but may recognize his name from his numerous publications.
Dwight chronicled the graves of those buried in nearly every cemetery in the area.
His books are a treasure to those researching their local genealogy.
Dwight was a friend and colleague and he will be sincerely missed.
